Trestle Corporation wants to purchase a new finishing machine. They currently have an old machine, which is operable for five more years and is expected to have a zero-disposal value at the end of five years. If the company buys the new machine, the old machine will be sold now for $95,000 (book value is $75,000). The new machine will cost $635,000 and will be depreciated for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 5 years. The new machine will not have a salvage value and will not be sold after its useful life. An additional cash investment in working capital of $25,000 will be required if the new machine is purchased. The investment is expected to net $80,000 in before tax cash inflows during the first year of operation and $235,000 each additional year of use. These cash flows do not include depreciation and are recognized at the end of each year. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end of the asset's life. The company's tax rate is 32%.

![Trestle Corporation is considering purchasing a new finishing machine. Currently, they have an old machine that will remain functional for five years and will have a zero-disposal value at the end, after which it will no longer serve any useful purpose. If Trestle purchases the new machine, the old one can be sold immediately for $95,000, although its book value is $75,000.
The cost of the new machine is $635,000. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its useful life of five years for tax purposes. Notably, the new machine will not have a salvage value at the end of its useful life.
Additionally, there will be an investment required in working capital, amounting to $25,000, if the new machine is acquired. This investment is projected to result in net cash inflows before tax of $80,000 in the first year and $235,000 in each subsequent year of use. These figures do not take depreciation into account and are recognized at the end of each year. Also, the working capital investment will not be recuperated at the end of the machine's life span.
